Let us remember

That we are in the Holy presence of God

Loving God, who reigns on Earth as it is in Heaven

Father God Whom the prophet Isaiah called the Mother of Zion,

We come to you with humble and contrite hearts,

Asking for the repentance of our sins, both known and unknown,

Forgive us for our sins as well as forgive those who sin against us.

We pray that we can experience reconciliation, truth, and peace,

You, Oh God, are the God of Life, the Spirit of Freedom

You are the God of Moses, and the prophet Miriam, Harriet Tubman, and Trayvon Martin

and You, Oh God, through your Son, promised us that Jesus came to give us life abundant

Sustain us this day in the land of the living,

Spirit of Life, renew us, lead us and guide us to live in solidarity with the oppressed,

Empower us to live as life-giving witnesses of the Gospel,

For it is in His precious and matchless name we pray, Amen.

Saint John Baptist de La Salle – Pray for Us.

Live Jesus in our Hearts. – Forever!
